I found this to be quite the slog. Aronofsky's incredibly weird asides are welcome (fucking rock monsters?!), but this film is lacking any core fundamental sense of emotion and stakes. Could have...

Okay, so out of the gate this is the weakest PWSA film that I've seen, a film marred by a pretty nondescript first 45 minutes and a cast that rarely registers beyond having pretty faces and nice...

didn't hate it, but it's all over the place after the first third. kinnaman not too bad before he's turned into a zombie, sucking most of the life out of the film.

Okay, so this was obviously pretty great. Manic, ridiculous, and easily the funniest movie of the year. Essentially Goodfellas 2.0, but way more raucous and over-the-top. The opening 80 minutes are...

Convoluted, shallow, and shapeless. Funny how the most amusing bit comes from a character playing it straight (Louis CK) in this portrait of zany, ostensibly appealing cartoon characters.

the first hour is pretty bad, but "the scene" and that which follows is affecting. this guy's tragic story does deserve a better telling though.

Really found this satisfying. Disliked The Hobbit for being such a bloated/non-momentous slog, but this taps right into the sense of wonder and scope that the original trilogy produced. It's overlong...

Basically a How-To Guide on how to dispose of evil bikers and meth dealers in your home town. Shitty script.

Thought this was quite tedious. Josh Gad was good though.

saw this for a TV critic gig I have. it's close to the worst of the year.

No where near the weightless slog that is the first movie. A lot of flaws, but pretty agreeable despite the constant silliness. Some upgrades added with the supporting cast (Jena Malone mainly), but...

Thought this was pretty solid, Hunger is my still my favorite from McQueen but this didn't disappoint. Modes and malfunctions of institutional evil and anger all processed through a damaged and...

More of the same mindless carnage that we saw in Man of Steel. Such a mess. Like going to a wedding that doesn't serve any alcohol. A lot of fun and attractive people present, but little fun to be...

Had an okay time with this one. Someone described it as Full Metal Jacket for the Young Adult demographic, which is on point. The first half was pretty alright, but as it went along the stakes seemed...

A few nice gags that weren't seen in the trailer, but pretty boring and sluggish throughout.

A lot of fun to be had here even if that feeling feels slightly diminished as soon as the lights come up. Pretty mean and consistently hilarious throughout, though it's at its clear best when it...

im with boner, terribly banal film. mati diop though!

Appreciate the craft and all (esp the score), but there's no soul here despite all the tragedy swirling around. Meh.

Zodiac for dummies. Easily something I would have loved in my mid-late teens, but that's not really saying much. Sadly, what starts off as pretty decent thriller quickly grows stale as the film's...

This is all pretty decent for a while but comes to a screeching halt once Kyle Chandler enters the film. More "sins of the father" heavy handedness that is really transparent and obvious. Teller and...

not a fan at all, reviewed here: http://www.inreviewonline.com/inreview/current_film/Entries/2013/8/27_Short_Term_12_(2013).html

This devastated me on more than a few occasions, but I feel as if it comes to a certain emotional stand still in the final act if that makes sense. Polley is clearly experimenting here, and while I'm...
